NANO TECHNOLOGY TO REDUCE SULFUR

VAS ENERGY, INC has developed in partneship with an European associated a NanoTechnology to reduce the sulfur content on Oil and Oil products.

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to using nanotechnology to reduce sulfur content.

Background of the Invention.

Based on the Emission rule change that went into effect on January 1, 2010, the new formulation of low-sulfur fuel is supposed to replace bunker fuel, which has a high percent of sulfur content, above what is allowed for automobile gasoline in the United States. As a result, the shipping industry contributes about 13% of global sulfur-dioxide emissions. The new maritime fuel will be limited to a sulfur content of 0.5%.

The cost of the low-sulfur fuel is not currently known. Shipping executives expect to pay 25 percent to 40 percent more than they pay for bunker fuel because of the higher cost of producing the low-sulfur fuel and setting up new distribution sites. Prices for the most common bunker fuel are currently around $440-552 per metric ton. The market estimate that low sulfur cost per metric ton is approximately $600.00.

With regards to compliance options, ship operators can either use low-sulfur fuel or continue using bunker fuel and add scrubbers that trap sulfur in the exhaust system before the sulfur emissions are released in the atmosphere. The scrubbers cost $3 million to $10 million per ship. Carriers installing scrubbers believe they can recover the cost in about two years by continuing to use bunker fuel instead of the more expensive low-sulfur fuel.

Ships with scrubbers are still in the minority with 360 ships having installed scrubbers as of August 2017 and 494 vessels by May 2018 out of a total of around 60,000 commercial vessels on the world’s seas.
The technology on which scrubbers are based is basic. They work by dissolving or absorbing pollutants from a gas stream into a scrubbing liquid that is then treated and discharged (open loop) or neutralized and reused (closed loop). However, the actual scrubber installation is quite cumbersome and complex and includes the scrubber, water and process pumps, piping, tanks, fans, separators, dosing units, valves, containment systems, and monitoring equipment. A scrubber also requires substantial power, and for most vessels, will need the installation of additional generating capacity. Further, funnels, deck compartments and cargo hold will need to be modified.

Compared to the design and production of sulfur reduction bunker fuel and crude oil loaded with sulfur contents, the current technology exists, but it is an expensive and delicate process.

Nano technology research on fuel has been going on for more than 15 years and today, it contributes hugely to the production of fuel-grade distillate from petroleum residues. This process is profitable, expensive, and extremely efficient.

Nanotechnology processes have been developed to separate out and extract the molecular Sulphur from fuel oil and bring the Sulphur content to less than 0.5%. These processes have been verified to comply with global standards. Because of the refining, the nano-fuel oil delivers more calorific output and allows engines to run at lower exhaust gas temperatures and to leave negligible residues. The processing equipment to deliver the nano-fuel oil is affordable, the installation and operation is cost-effective, and the final cost of the nano-fuel is only about 5% more than ordinary high Sulphur fuel oil. The processing plant can be installed either onshore or onboard.

Nanotechnology offers a far more elegant and progressive solution than scrubbing. It removes the problem at the source, rather than wrestling with it when it can be too late. It does not require cumbersome installations and the associated downtime, or increased power generation, or convoluted piping, or the worry about effluents and water capacity and maintenance. The process is already in use offshore, in power plants and factories.

Summary of the Invention.

The present invention uses nano technology to reduce the sulfur contents between 80-85% from its current level in bunker fuel or crude oil. This design is cheaper to produce and easier to replicate. The current design is 50-60 % less in operational cost than what is on the market currently, with no environmental pollution. The basic cost is $300-350 per Metric ton.

It is an object of the present invention for the catalyst of the present invention to break up certain ion bonds which allow for the breaking of the long hydrocarbon molecular chain, the effect of which is a substantial drop in viscosity and specific gravity/density and shorter molecular chains (hence a “lighter oil” such as gas oil and lighter products); and breaking of the ionic bond of sulfur which allows it to become free and can coagulate to the bottom. A third catalyst can be added to the blend to separate asphaltenes and suspended “burnt carbon” from very heavy fuel oil or extra heavy crude oils. It is an object of the present invention for other nanomaterials to be added to the mix and concurrently remove excess amounts of Vanadium, Sodium, or Aluminum.
The present invention relates to the use of a chemical composition comprising poly acrylonitrile, mesophase pitch, zinc, acid, and lignin to reduce 80-85% of sulfur in bunker fuel or crude oil. It is an object of the present invention for acid to comprise aluminum chloride.

It is an object of the present invention for the chemical composition to be added to the bunker fuel or crude oil in a reactor type machine that is designed to mix the chemical composition and the bunker fuel or crude oil into a solution. It is an object of the present invention for computer software to be used with the reactor type machine.

It is an object of the present invention for the computer to specifically measure and mix each dosage of the chemical composition at a specific time in the mixing process.

It is an object of the present invention for the chemical composition to be used with waste oil.

ANTI CORROSION & 
ANTI RUST

VAS ENERGY INC has developed nano technology that prevents Steel Plate / Pipes, (ex: Ship Infrastructure), from rusting and/or corroding. It can be used on any steel plate and/or metal pipe.

The current lifetime application for anticorrosion – antirust is between five (5) and seven (7) years.Some companies are leading supplier of this technology, but the cost is approximately 1000% over our cost per kilograms.

Our technology, on the other hand, extends the lifetime application between twenty-five (25) and thirty (30) years. 

The cost to produce this nanotechnology is fourteen ($14.00) dollars per kilogram excluding building land and equipment and we produce it on site.

HYDROGENIZED GASOIL / FUEL OIL


VAS ENERGY INC have developed a nano technology to double the quantity of gas oil and fuel oil by mixing our nano technology with one (1) barrel of gas/fuel oil with one (1) barrel of water. With this mixture, the chemical composition of the oil remains the same, the only thing that changes is that the quantity is doubled.


The burning of this fuel will reduce the pollution by 80% and prevent black smog from accumulating and threatening air quality. This is an environmentally friendly technology and can be used in a populated area.
